Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The use pattern of silicon carbide (crude and grains) makes exposure to birds negligible. Unlike pesticides e.g., silicon carbide is not intentionally released into the environment. As an inorganic substance it is not regarded as bioaccumulative. Since bioaccumulation in fish and earthworms is excluded, it is unlikely that birds would be exposed to silicon carbide in their diet, i.e. secondary poisoning risk for birds is very low.
For these reasons testing on avian toxicity is regarded as not necessary.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
